Greedland: A Developer’s Tribute to Classic Arcade Chaos

Man, launching a game is one heck of a ride. Greedland, my baby, is finally out on Xbox Series X|S, and it’s been a wild four years. Yeah, 1,460 days — but who’s counting? Oh right, I was. It’s VaMP He here, by the way. This is my passion project, packed with screen-shakin’ action. Grab it at a sweet 20% discount right now!

There are games, and then there’s this game. Anyway, survival tips? Here ya go. First off, these aliens aren’t gonna blast themselves. You gotta get all weapon nerdy, mix “Plasma Disc” with “Frost Mutation” — and boom, that frozen alien shatters like a cheap ornament. Sounds fun, right? I mean, why not crank the chaos with some weapon combos?

Moving is your life jacket in this storm, trust me. Dodge first, think later. Shooting comes next. Speed upgrades? Ugh, absolute lifesavers.

Now, who ever said co-op is trivial clearly ain’t tried ours. Two players? Double the madness. One’s distracting, the other goes pew-pew on mutant weak spots. It’s a riot, in the best way. Really, it is.

Flashback time. Internet cafés? Man, I grew up in those dim-lit dens of gaming. Spent my hard-earned pocket money — okay, maybe it wasn’t much — just glued to the screens, taking on CS and Red Alert. But a game? Alien Shooter, a total throwback. If you’ve played it, high five! That vibe? It’s how Greedland was born, kinda. I’ve done my share of mobile games, but the thrill didn’t quite hit, y’know? This had to be pure old-school blitz, but better.

Creation ain’t all fun and games, though. Started in 2021, just for kicks. Then, bam! Demo gets hyped, 50,000 wishlists later, investors are on board. Quit my job, rented an office — and funds poofed into thin air. Brutal. My wife? Solid as a rock, picking me up when I crashed and burned. Seriously, juggling code and baby duties was next level hard.

Playtesters kept me sane, sorta. The buzz from PC players led us here, to Xbox. It’s real now. Greedland isn’t just pixels and code. It’s a piece of that old arcade spirit, itching to take over your Xbox and, well, your life.

Oh, and a bit more about the game. You’re up against waves of alien mayhem — 20,000 enemies, no less. With weapons like the orbital cannon, or the devastator, things get explosive. Tweak your arsenals, get creative with the chaos. It’s satisfying in that loud, over-the-top way that makes gaming pure magic.

So pop on over to find Greedland. E-Home Entertainment served up a whirlwind, and it’s all yours to conquer. Dive in solo or bring a buddy. Just don’t say I didn’t warn ya about the madness. Enjoy the ride!
